“We have been working hard to add additional open space for Towson residents, and this purchase will help us achieve that goal,” said county executive Kamenetz. “I especially appreciate the assistance of Delegate Lafferty, as well as Speaker Pro Tem Delegate Adrienne Jones, in helping us obtain a State contribution to resolve the demolition cost issue.”
The contract of sale will be sent to the County Council for approval.
